It has been a long time....and it will be again!

So, it has been a while since my last update my blogging friends. As many of you know not much has been going on here....literally not much at all! I hope you have been reading my emails because I can't fill you in here. So Jared and I have been filling our time watching a lot of t.v.shows (Mad Men and How I Met Your Mother), trying some new recipes (some curry dishes), playing wii (we love Super Mario Bros.) and I have been at work on updating my resume and applying at school districts in the Dallas area (one of us needs a job before we get back!). I have been trying to get in touch with many old friends teaching in the Dallas area to give me some advice and so if you see this and I haven't talked with you please send me an email! Getting all of the paper work together and being overseas has not been so easy.

In just 4 short days we will be heading out for some beautiful beaches in SE Asia! Out of the cold rain and into the sun and palm trees! We will be going to a conference and then on to personal vacation time. We are looking forward to some time together and getting to process a little bit more of our next steps after we come back home in July. We both just recently took a personal assessment called The Birkman Questionnaire and received the results. As we both just sat here and read the results, which someone will go over with us one-on-one at our conference, seemed pretty darn accurate! It was quite an extensive assessment with 33 pages for my results and suggestions for what I need to be aware personally and in relation to others. It also gives some advice of how to best use your strengths in a work environment. Maybe I should look into some other options other than teaching? :)

This was my top "job family"

My lowest was in sales...I am staying far away from that profession!

Good bye blogging world, we will be back at the end of February!
